Lu Yuanzhao parked the car in the underground garage of the old house and followed the housekeeper to the living room.

Xia Rong was sitting upright in the living room, a lot of materials were piled up on the coffee table in front of her, and the servants were dismissed by her, the huge living room was surprisingly quiet.

Lu Yuanzhao walked up to Xia Rong step by step, and his heart sank.

Ever since he was a child, he was most afraid of seeing such a mother. Whenever she frowned, her face was serious, and her eyes were terribly calm, she would definitely lose her temper.Only Lu Yuanzhao has seen such a terrifying side of Xia Rong, who has always been dignified, and it has left a shadow in his heart since he was a child.

"Mother, you are looking for me." Lu Yuanzhao lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Xia Rong again.

Xia Rong stared at Lu Yuanzhao, picked up the documents on the coffee table and threw them on him, "This is the performance of this month, you can see for yourself."

Lu Yuanzhao picked up the document that fell on him and dropped it. It clearly stated the company's various cooperation and share income this month. Among them, the cooperation project with Mantian Studio has been marked with a red pen.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xia Rong became even angrier. She pushed all the documents on the coffee table together with Guo Guo and the cup to the floor, and the crisp cracking sound echoed in the living room.

"I didn't raise you up so that you could use the company to chase women!" Xia Rong looked at Lu Yuanzhao fiercely, "Don't forget the responsibility on your shoulders!"

Lu Yuanzhao resisted the urge to escape, and replied, "I'm sorry."

Xia Rong's chest heaved violently, and it took her a while to regain control of her emotions. She took a step forward, grabbed Lu Yuanzhao's collar, and threatened, "If I find out that you are entangled with that woman again , I don’t mind sending her away with my own hands.”

Lu Yuanzhao replied nervously, "I know my mother, there will never be a second time."

This sentence was also taught by Xia Rong since he was a child. No matter what mistake, Xia Rong will not allow him to make a second time. Even if it is a professional vocabulary in finance, he has written D instead of T twice. He was scolded by Xia Rong, and then he was locked in a dark room and he was not allowed to go out.

After Xia Rong turned and left, Lu Yuanzhao's whole body trembled, and those dark childhood memories began to flood into his mind disobediently.

He turned around and ran towards the bedroom in a panic, but accidentally staggered and nearly fell. In order to maintain his balance, his hand accidentally pressed on the fragments of the water glass, and blood oozes out immediately, but Lu Yuanzhao seemed to notice As if it didn't hurt, he quickened his pace and returned to the bedroom.

It was a clear day, but Lu Yuanzhao felt that it was dark. He opened the curtains in the room, turned on the light again, and then hurriedly went to the drawer to find the box that Xu Ze had left for him.

It wasn't until seeing Ye Manqiu's face that Lu Yuanzhao finally calmed down.Only this woman can save him from falling completely in the dark.

When the phone rang, Lu Yuanzhao was also taken aback. He saw the name on the caller ID, took a deep breath, and then pressed the answer pretending nothing happened.

"The latest batch of products are selling very well. I sent the detailed profit data by email. I hope it won't hold back Lu's." Ye Manqiu's words came from the other end mixed with the sound of typing on the keyboard.

Lu Yuanzhao sat in front of the bed and replied calmly, "Okay."

After a moment of silence, Ye Manqiu asked again, "Are you okay? Why are you talking so little today?"

The man chuckled before saying, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired."

"Then I won't disturb you."

"Manchu!"

Hearing this sound, Ye Manqiu paused with his fingers hanging above the phone screen, "What's wrong?"

"Thank you."

Before Ye Manqiu had time to ask, she heard the sound of the phone hanging up.For some reason, she felt a little flustered for no reason, so she dialed the number and re-broadcasted the call.

One, two, three.

When Ye Manqiu was about to give up, the phone was connected again, and the man asked softly, "Is there anything else?"

Ye Manqiu rubbed her nose a little helplessly, and said with an excuse, "You've finished half of what you just said, it's fine, thank me for what?"

After a few seconds of silence, the other party said again, "All."

Ye Manqiu still said what was in her heart, "You are acting weird today."

The man's laughter came, "You are thinking too much. By the way, I may not go to you in the near future. I can't leave the company."

Ye Manqiu nodded, and after realizing that the other party couldn't see it, she replied, "I see."

The call ended again, and the two of them stared at the phone screen from bright to dark, unable to recover for a long time.

Ye Manqiu had no idea that during the second call, the person on the other end had changed from Lu Yuanzhao to Shan Hai, let alone what he was going to do next.

Shan Hai stayed in the bedroom and didn't eat dinner.Xia Rong was naturally not surprised by this situation, and went to the study to read after dinner alone.

It wasn't until the time on the clock pointed to eight o'clock that he walked out of the bedroom and saw the servant who was about to deliver milk to Xia Rong.

"Let me come." Shan Hai took the milk and said to the servant, "It's getting late, go and rest."

"That's hard work, young master."

After the servant left, Lu Yuanzhao put two sleeping pills prepared in advance into the hot milk, and then went to the study with them.

"Mother, I'm sorry to make you angry, you should go to bed earlier."

Shan Hai put the milk on the table, Xia Rong glanced at him, picked up the cup, and drank it all without warning.

Shan Hai watched her turn back to the bedroom, and went downstairs to deliver the cup. He listened carefully to the movement from upstairs, waited in the kitchen for a while, and then went up to the second floor again.

He gently pushed open the door of Xia Rong's bedroom, and by the light in the corridor, he saw her peaceful sleeping face, so he called softly, "Mother?"

The person on the bed was sound asleep and did not respond.

Shan Hai boldly walked in, then leaned against the bed, and called his mother twice, Xia Rong still didn't wake up, so he got up, groped around Xia Rong's pillow lightly, and found a string The key, he held the key in his hand to prevent the sound of the collision from waking him up, but suddenly there was a sound on the bed.

Shan Hai quickly squatted beside the bed, only turning over when he saw Xia Rong.

He breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his footsteps, and left Xia Rong's bedroom holding his breath, and went into the study instead.

To be on the safe side, Shan Hai only turned on the lamp on the desk, and inserted each key into the lock cylinder of the locked drawer under the dim light. However, after trying several times in a row, the lock could not be opened. Cold sweat dripped from all over.

Finally, a slight "click" sounded in the quiet study room, Shan Hai moved his finger, and the key turned accordingly, and finally opened the drawer.

That drawer was clean except for a thick notebook lying in the center.

It was Xia Rong's diary.
